In episode 2 of our brand-new mini-series, our three Airgun Masters learn all about the relatively new sport of Target Sprint, which combines air rifle shooting and mid-distance running into one exciting event.
After a closer look at what target sprint entails and the restrictions on the type of air rifle allowed in competition, the Masters engage in a hilarious “boys versus girls” Target Sprint shooting challenge... don’t worry, they all come out of it in one piece!
Throughout this airgunning series, our three airgun masters - Gary Chillingworth, Mick Garvey and Neil Thorneycroft - will be sharing everything they know about their own area of airgun sport expertise, before engaging in a shooting challenge to demonstrate the key aspects of the sport and to see how their accomplices fair when taken out of their comfort zones!
It’s safe to say that running takes all three of these “mature” airgunners out of their comfort zones, so prepare to be entertained! Utilising the fantastic air rifle range at Brook Valley, the Airgun Masters create a mini-Target Sprint course that allows for their various knee-related complaints and proves how versatile this sport really is - you don’t have to run 400m to get involved! It’s perfectly fine to start small and work your way up to the full distance required.
Enjoy episode two and don’t forget to tune in next Friday for episode 3, which will cover long-range plinking and shooting from typical hunting positions.
